I've been somewhat following this game ever since I saw PewDiePie play a demo almost a year ago. It looks really fun and exciting. Hopefully it will be stable at launch!
I'm not awfully fond of "cinematic" games like Heavy Rain, or very linear games, I do however really like good character interactions and cutscenes, like in The Witcher 2 and the ME games. It just adds that special something that helps me get so much more invested in the characters.
That PS4 looks pretty sweet, and I were to ever buy a PS4, I think I'd want that version.
I never owned an original PlayStation, but many of my friends did, so I've got a few backseatgamer memories from it.
My first console was a Nintendo 64 that my dad got me for my 7th birthday. I remember having no freaking idea what I was doing in Super Mario 64, and not even being able to defeat the Bob-Omb King. That console made me a gamer and games like Banjo Tooie, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64 and Super Mario 64 are some of my fondest childhood and gaming memories. :3
@locknuts84 @TheJamin Same here. I literally don't see a point in the other consoles. Sure TLOU, Bloodborne and uhhh...guess that's it, looks good, but no thanks.
@gameroutlawzz No, I live in Europe, so it isn't out yet.
That's reassuring to hear, though! I just remember having pretty shoddy exøeriences while playing Brawl. My Internet connection is quite solid so as long as the matchmaking doesn't go ahead and connect me to people with potato connections it'll probably be fine.
Reading and watching the review makes me a bit worried still.
I'm crossing my fingers that my experience will be similar to yours!
Really disappointed that the online is bad yet again, although I can't say I'm surprised.
Brawl was a lagfest online, sad to hear Sm4sh is the same (or something along those lines). And those frame drops were insane...the hell, Nintendo? I hope they'll patch this, but I'm not really holding my breath.
I wonder if this game would have gotten a 10/10 if the online part was great, though.
@donutking7 True, there aren't too many amazing titles, although if you're still into Nintendo games you might want to pick up a Wii U sometime next year. Looks like there will be loads of great titles coming (Zelda, Star Fox, Xenoblade and moar).
There's also the e-shop that has a pretty good NES and SNES library if you want to relieve some of those old memories.
But right now, the console isn't that great. Mario Kart 8, Smash and Bayonetta are all great, though. I hear Pikmin 3 is a blast as well.
But ultimately, if Nintendo games don't really do anything for you any more, the Wii U is not worth buying.
